The Collage

Location: Yashawant Natya Mandir, Matunga West, Mumbai

Date : February 13, 2010

The first thing that comes to mind when we say ‘collage’ is a mixture of beautiful photographic memories. Similarly, the show ‘collage’ was the CD of an album that was a mixture of romantic songs for young minds, no matter their age. The CD got released at the hands of well-renowned actress Pallavi Joshi. These songs have been sung by popular singers Vaishali Bhaisne-Made, Mandar Apte, Madhuri Karmarkar and Shankar Mahadevan. Among the singers for this album, Vaishali, Madhuri and Mandar were present for the show and performed a few songs creating a soothing atmosphere. A special highlight of this show was showcasing the poems before the public that have been written by our very own Fountain Entertainment’s owner, Shreyasee Vaze-Mantrawadi. Her poems have been compiled together into a book called ‘Sahaj suchla tevha’. The book got released at the hands of great lyricist Guru Thakur.

One of the performers for the show was Kathak artist and actor Nakul Ghanekar who performed to the beats of 4 songs with a group of energetic dancers, that were choreographed by Sonia Parchure.

Testimonials

I know Shreyasee approx from 2008. At the time, we were working together for ‘Surabhi’ channel of Worldspace Satellite Radio. However, I was not affiliated with her event company ‘Fortune Entertainment’ till the time of release of the CD ‘The Collage’. Shreyasee had asked me if I would anchor the event and I had consented mainly to acknowledge and encourage her efforts in this field. This program was conducted in an extremely professional yet very caring manner. Post this event, I was involved, directly or indirectly, in many of the events organised by Fortune Entertainment. Of these, one program was quite memorable and has made a lasting impression on me. This was a program named ‘Saptasur maze’ organised by Fortune Entertainment to honour the Distinguished Music Director Mr. Ashok Patki Ji on his 75th birthday. My close friend 'Vijay Chavan' was cordially invited to attend this program. Vijay was not keeping well at that time. So much so that it was difficult for him to breathe without oxygen support. Nevertheless, he got so involved and enthralled during this program that he actually danced on the stage to the tune of the famous song ‘taang ting tinga’ totally oblivious of his physical ailment. The artist in him was truly exhilarated. I was thrilled to witness the ecstasy of my friend and Vijay’s wife was moved to see her husband’s joy. At that point, Shreyasee and Kedar displayed a genuine concern and a gentle caring attitude. The most heart-warming part was that setting aside the commercial aspect, they gave the much needed latitude to an artist. I think, this considerate and concerned approach makes each and every event organised by Fortune Entertainment truly unforgettable and extraordinary.

Shreyasee had called me a few years back with regard to an album “Collage” that she was making and had asked me if I would choreograph 3 of the songs from that album. She later met me at my home and the way she explained the whole concept of this album, it sounded truly interesting. I was also impressed by the fact that Fortune had planned such a grand event for the release of this CD. I liked the idea of three whole new songs to choreograph. Since then, Shreyasee and me have developed a nice friendly relationship. Whenever there is a novel idea or a good concept, she has called upon me. A bond has developed between us over the period and together we have witnessed a number of events. Those have been as varied as a musical program on Kishor Da, a wonderful exhibition event and a Krishna Ballet! Also I was an invitee for many of the music programs arranged by Shreyasee. One really admirable fact is that Shreyasee gives a lot of thought and attention to even the minutest details while arranging any event. Another exceptional point is that she is always endeavouring to conduct the program on a grand scale and that she never thinks small! This is a very extraordinary characteristic of Shreyasee. It is a very difficult feat to try to float and familiarise a totally innovative idea with the sponsors and to do so on a constant basis at the time of every event calls for a different kind of energy and spirit. Shreyasee has this zeal which is, in turn, also routed to Fortune Entertainment.

My best wishes to Fortune Entertainment. Shreyasee, do keep on conducting such lovely events, not only for Mulundkars but also for others!
